Summary

Dating back to 1681, Hillgrove Cottage is a beautifully renovated stone cottage situated in a prominent and sought after location right on the village green in St Helens, which it holds grazing rights to.

The house has undergone a full programme of sympathetic updating and extending, which beautifully blends the original character and charm of the house with all the needs of modern day living. On the ground floor the naturally bright accommodation has been extended to the side and comprises entrance porch and hallway, a fabulous open plan living area which incorporates a sitting room with a double sided log burning stove, a wooden handmade kitchen with a walk-in larder cupboard, a family room and a dining room which open out into the rear garden. In addition to this there is a downstairs bedroom which could also be utilised as a study, a boot room and a shower room. This is complemented on the first floor by 3 further double bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom. From the main bedroom there is access onto a superb sun terrace from where one can enjoy the fabulous sea and countryside views.

Set within pretty gardens which wrap to all sides of the cottage, the mature gardens incorporate a cottage style garden to the front and lawned gardens to the side and rear. Of further benefit is a single garage with driveway parking to the front for 2 to 3 cars.

This is a truly stunning home set within a unique position on the village green, which has the local shops and amenities on the doorstep whilst also being an easy stroll to the beaches at the Duver and the nearby Marina.
